With an aim to offer information protection services to businesses in India, KPMG in India and Forcepoint have announced a strategic alliance. The partnership will bring together KPMG in India’s cyber security services along with Forcepoint’s data-first cybersecurity innovations which enable enterprises and government agencies to protect their critical data anywhere it is accessed.
According to KPMG’s 2021 India CEO Outlook Report – Towards a digitally-driven and purpose-led recovery, as many as 14 percent CEOs in India compared to 12 percent globally saw cyber security risk as one of the greatest risks to growth today. KPMG in India’s experience in information protection advisory, understanding of various data privacy requirements and adoption of data protection technology measures on different technology platforms coupled with Forcepoint’s skills in delivering modern cybersecurity products and solutions which safeguard critical data and IP thus makes for a compelling proposition.
The key areas where the KPMG in India-Forcepoint alliance aims to add significant value include -
Help identify and locate critical information within the enterprise (Process based coupled with e-discovery mechanisms)
Help develop various policies and processes, including classification to protect sensitive data
Phased and prioritized approach (enables quick wins) to focus on critical information protection that impacts business operations
Delivered smoothly by market leaders with globally proven methodology and practices
Competent Team with vast experience of working with different information protection technologies.
Raghavendra BV, partner and head cyber transformation services, KPMG in India, said, “The KPMG in India and Forcepoint partnership is a powerful combination. Forcepoint’s understanding of today’s complex business needs, through a converged platform that offers better visibility and control against theft or loss of sensitive data, is also uniquely complimentary to how a KPMG in India team works. Our partnership will allow us to drive far more business impact for our clients, thereby unlocking the full potential of digital transformation, allowing us to place them on the best path to success in the new digital business landscape in a secure manner.”
Surendra Singh, senior director of regional sales, India at Forcepoint, said, “Forcepoint has the strategic advantage in being a leader in the increasingly crowded global SASE market, but we cannot deliver this to customers without our global channel partners. This strategic alliance with KPMG in India will be a major step forward to helping customers navigate the path forward in today’s distributed work environment in which people, data and infrastructure have now moved outside of their control.”
